So we had a slight mishap with our promotion when we realised that no one, not even us, had reception due to the huge number of people at Bream Creek Show!

We will draw the winners tomorrow night (Sunday) to give everyone time to share their photos of our cows.

Thank you to the thousands of people we met today for your pats and love of our cows ❤️

We can't wait! We've dusted our halters and combs off and look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

Bream Creek show, we're coming for you! Can't wait!

We might even have a little promotion running on the day 😉

Well, it's been a big day at the Bushy Park Show. Our first time at this particular show!

Bushy Park is quite a small show so the cattle classes are all interbreed classes - meaning the cattle are grouped on age and gender rather than breed, age AND gender. This meant our little cows were up against some ripper cattle.

Despite being out sized, out numbered and out muscled, our little ones did well!

Violet managed to get quite a large number of naps in for today, every time I looked, she was curled up somewhere new 😂 both Violet and Velvet were also used by our friends and helpers for Junior handlers and excelled.

Stand out today wad Vera. She's been so scared but today was a huge turning point in her behaviour. She laid down today and wasn't fussed by all the pats and love she received.... a month ago, she would not have been confident laying down around people and if someone walked towards her, she would have jumped a mile!

Special mention to our friends, handlers and helpers. A cow + 5 calves was quite the handful and we would have been lost without you all ❤

I'm very proud of how they all behaved today, they've earned their treats and yummy hay for tonight ❤

Are you ready for the Bushy Park show?! Because we are and we are on our way!

For those playing along at home, here's 2 games!

1. Attached is a photo of tail hair samples for DNA testing of this year's calves. Guess which tail hairs belong to Victory, Viking, Vera, Violet and Velvet

2. We had the vet come to preg test our breeding girls today. All but one are in calf - guess who out of Clementine, Clarabelle, Sleeping Beauty, Trooper and Twilight (no clues - that's in age order 😂).
Also, Sapphire is not in calf but doesn't count because she hasn't had any dates with Nicholas since having a calf!

Every year I remember the wise words spoken to me when I started breeding galloways - never get attached to steers.

And every year, I fail miserably.

Vinnie and Van, our pair of black steers, went to their new home yesterday. I've been so chuffed with how involved their new family has been from right at the beginning, with multiple trips hereto our farm to learn about, and see their training progression.

Have the best time boys, I'm going to miss you but there is no doubt in my mind that you're going to be so spoilt and loved ❤

2025 Valley View Miniature Galloways show team 🥳

First introduction to a quick wash and blow dry and everyone was on their best behaviour

No one is quite convinced about this weaning business! I'm sure the girls are questioning why Viking gets to stay on his mums milk while they're all missing out

03/01/2025

Yesterday saw all the calves get their ear tattoos and heights recorded. Fresh and fancy ear tag upgrades for the breeding girls ❤ the calves staying will also get fancy ones but I couldn't bring myself to give them ear tags on the same day as tattoos 😬

Vinnie the champion. He adapts so quickly and is on his was to mastering the halter. You can see as the kids come up to him, he has a moment of being in flight mode and then adapts to her being about and takes it in his stride

Victory, the little red bull that could! He's starting to fill out beautifully! After a slow start getting used to the halter, he's improving every day

Vera (red heifer) halter training today

Apparently I can't upload photos and videos at the same time so here's some videos of today at the Brighton Show. Enjoy!

Monday evening zoomies from Vera! She's such a playful little calf!

So food driven that you even dream you're eating....

We are halfway through our 6 week calving window with 4 out of 9 calves dropped. Really happy with how quiet and inquisitive these 4 are ❤

When you're being so annoying that the mums get involved to sort you all out 🤪

Sapphire loves our kids and the scratches and treats that they bring. This girl has the best temperament, great structure and is from my smallest cow (Black Pearl). Very much looking forward to welcoming her first calf and her future in our herd 😍

Calves.... loading ⏳⏳⏳ Seriously though, check out that gorgeous little trot when he was let out of the paddock and could smell his new girls! 😍 If anyone is wanting to enquire about adopting calves, we are now accepting applications for the next drop!

Day 1 of training and kicking the goals right out of the park! Your new family has hit the jackpot 🥳 Starring Toto and Trinket ❤
